The challenge

Due to the discontinuation of support services for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 in July 2015, many of Austria's pharmacies needed to be converted to Microsoft Windows Server 2012. Sales partner Apotronik saw this as the perfect opportunity to replace all existing server hardware at the pharmacies it supports. As the servers were going to be installed within the pharmacies' sales areas, Apotronik needed to find devices that were as compact and quiet as they were powerful.

The solution

Fujitsu replaced the existing server hardware in 200 of the pharmacies supported by Apotronik with PRIMERGY tower servers. A total of 200 PRIMERGY TX1320 and PRIMERGY TX2540 servers were installed over the course of the project. The components were tailor-made to meet the pharmacies' requirements in terms of performance, size and noise volumes.
